Most of the time when my jaw drops, it's due to the OT posts (which I'm really trying hard to ignore). |

I did work on my son's Roubaix because I'm his personal mechanic. More bike content -- there is a surprising amount of slop in the interface between the Shimano centerlock rotor spines and the hub splines -- at least on my son's bike. With the brakes locked, you can rock the front wheel back and forth like the bike has a loose headset, which it doesn't since I just repacked his cartridges and correctly adjusted the headset. Just plain old slop -- confirmed by complaints on the interweb. Given that one normally only brake with the wheels turning one direction is the slop really important? Assuming normal use don't the disk spline simply apply force to one side of the hub splines and never to the opposite side? After all most splined joints have some play, if only a little, to allow them to be assembled. In addition tapered and involute splines are self centering under load. cheers, John B. |

http://www.yellowjersey.org/ny19.html -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 New Years ride in Des Moines was 10 degrees and sunny, dry morning. We did have some sleet, rain yesterday which froze. A few ice spots on the roads.. Only four people rode. I and a dozen others sat in Starbucks and talked while the few dedicated were out riding. Then home for bowl watching. Its funny that Madison is 10 degrees warmer than me 200+ miles down south. You having snow isn't a surprise. |

You got immediate responses about how to clean a rear derailer. cheers, John B. |

Just fell of his bike a couple of seconds after he made a joke passing another friend on a mild off road climb. Recovering from my broken collarbone and ribs I didn't trust myself off road so I was on my road bike at the meeting point. I rode for a couple of miles with my buddies and as soon as they went off road I went my own way so fortunately I didn't see it happen. The shock came a couple of hours later when a friend showed up at my front door telling me the news. ****ing hell..... Lou |

I also say that this is the way I want to go at any age but that it is hard for the family and friends. His wife died just a half year ago from cancer at an age of 70. So his two sons lost their parents within half a year. Again ****ing hell what a ****ty year it was. Lou |

I too lost a friend we had a lot of fun cycling with. Again ****ing hell what a ****ty year it was. +1 Lou Andre Jute |
